For several decades “Mom & Pop” businesses have struggled for survival due to competitive pressures from larger companies who are offer services and products of lower price, higher quality, in a faster and more efficient manner. The larger companies are often able to offer higher salaries and better benefits while providing a better focus to both customers and employees. Many smaller companies have sold out or failed altogether. Others struggle to find growth and profitability among intense competition.

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif.—Greg and Theo Rokos, prominent executive search and sales leadership professionals, today announced the launch of FutureResume.com, a new concept in the online job board that allows job seekers to show their personality and professionalism through one- to two-minute video resume introductions that let them stand out from the crowd and find the perfect job. The new employment website lets hiring managers experience some of the same qualities a job seeker might reveal in an interview, but before the investment in a live interview, shortening and solidifying the hiring process. The new site also features employer video profiles that enable companies to stand out and showcase their corporate philosophy and culture so that job seekers can be sure to find the perfect fit. FutureResume.com executives say that no matter how many resume postings candidates may have on other sites, they will still come to FutureResume.com because it really is “the future of first impressions.”

Succession planning for a family-owned business can be fraught with complex challenges. Most of the time, business owners are working diligently on day-to-day operations and it is difficult for them to stop and take time to look farther down the road when they are no longer at the helm.

But inadequate planning can leave a company vulnerable amid management upheaval. Tax liabilities and estate settlement costs alone can run as high as 60 percent of assets. Failure to get everyone on board for a smooth transition can jeopardize the family’s fundamental financial security.
